TREATMENT DELIVERY
CyberKnife Treatment Delivery System The CyberKnife System is the first and only robotic radiosurgery system to offer highly precise and customizable, non-surgical treatment options for a broad range of tumors anywhere in the body, providing the most flexible treatment options. 02 CyberKnife: Treatment Delivery
CYBERKNIFE TREATMENT DELIVERY SYSTEM Using robotic mobility and continuous image guidance, the CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System both detects and corrects for intrafraction target motion, intelligently delivering treatments with sub-millimeter precision. With a robotic manipulator and a compact, lightweight linear accelerator, the CyberKnife System is not subject to the mobility constraints of traditional gantry architecture and can deliver beams from thousands of non-coplanar angles. Treatments have excellent tumor coverage, steep dose gradients and tight dose conformality, regardless of target shape. The system eliminates the need for gating techniques and restrictive head frames, providing greater comfort for the patient. High Dose Rate for Short Treatment Times 1000 MU/min Linear Accelerator The compact and lightweight 6MV X-band linear accelerator operates at a dose rate of 1000 MU/min, significantly reducing beam-on time. Radiation beams are precisely shaped with either fixed collimators or the Iris Variable Aperture Collimator. When the Xchange Robotic Collimator Changer is installed, fixed collimators can be changed automatically without the need for user intervention. The Xchange table is equipped with an advanced sensory system that confirms the pointing accuracy of the robotic manipulator at the beginning of each treatment path. BENEFITS Dose rate of 1000 MU/min minimizes treatment time Fully compatible with the Iris Variable Aperture Collimator and Xchange System The Xchange Robotic Collimator System automatically changes the secondary collimator using precision robotics.

Using tungsten segments to rapidly manipulate beam size, the Iris Collimator offers up to 12 aperture sizes for each linac position. It efficiently uses larger apertures to deliver beams to the center of the target and smaller apertures to intricately sculpt dose to the target s periphery. With beam characteristics virtually identical to that of fixed circular collimators, the Iris Collimator delivers superior dose conformality and excellent preservation of healthy tissue. BENEFITS Enables faster treatments Facilitates routine delivery of highly conformal, multiple collimator treatments The Iris Collimator includes two banks of six tungsten segments capable of rapidly manipulating beam geometry to deliver up to 12 unique beam diameters from each linac position. Precise Beam Collimation for Flexible Treatment Options Iris Variable Aperture Collimator The Iris Variable Aperture Collimator eliminates the need to exchange fixed collimators during treatment, making the use of multiple collimator sizes more efficient.

BENEFITS Increases patient comfort and reduces setup time Loads patients in a low, chair-like position Supports patients up to 500 pounds (227 kilograms) Allows patient positioning with six degrees of freedom: anterior/posterior, superior/inferior, left/right, roll, pitch and yaw Treatment Simulation for Optimum Tracking Results Simulation Application Intrafraction image guidance with the CyberKnife System uses anatomical landmarks to track and automatically adjust to target motion throughout treatment. The Simulation The workflow in the Simulation Application helps Application, determine the optimum tracking method for treatment of a lung lesion. included with the Lung Optimized Treatment option, gives clinicians a logical workflow for determining the optimum tracking mode for lung treatments. The Simulation process is used to determine the visibility of the target in a set of orthogonal X-ray images. All three tracking modes ensure each beam is precisely delivered to the target throughout the respiratory cycle, in a non-invasive manner: Two projections: If the target is visible in two projections, the Xsight Lung Tracking System is used for treatment. One projection: If the target is visible in only one projection, the 1-View Tracking algorithm is used. No visible target in either projection: If the target is not visible in either projection, Xsight Spine Tracking is used for alignment. Multiple Target Tracking Modes for Non-Invasive Treatments The Treatment Delivery software provides an intuitive user interface to efficiently control all interactions between the robotic manipulator, treatment couch and imaging system. The software quickly and automatically processes live images acquired throughout treatment, calculates offsets based on Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (DRRs) and sends offset data to the robotic manipulator for immediate and automatic motion compensation. Continuously adapting treatment to target motion is a challenge, and the CyberKnife System offers a growing set of options for tracking tumor types anywhere in the body from head to spine to lung to prostate. 6D Skull Tracking System Rendering invasive stereotactic head frames obsolete, the 6D Skull Tracking algorithm uses the bony anatomy of the skull to continuously track intracranial targets and automatically correct for even the slightest translational or rotational target shift during treatment delivery. Xsight Spine Tracking System and Xsight Spine Prone Tracking System The Xsight Spine Tracking System uses the bony anatomy of the spine to automatically locate and track tumors, eliminating the need for surgical implantation of fiducials and making radiosurgery in and near the spine more precise and less invasive. With the Xsight Spine Prone feature, the benefits of non-invasive spine treatments can be extended to patients in prone as well as the supine position. Xsight Lung Tracking System Together with the Synchrony Respiratory Tracking, the Xsight Lung Tracking System directly and non-invasively tracks the movement of lung tumors with precision throughout treatment.

Motion Tracking Methods for THE Predictable and Non-Predictable Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System The Synchrony Respiratory Motion Tracking System tracks and corrects for predictable motion by continuously synchronizing beam delivery with the motion of the target, allowing clinicians to significantly reduce margins while eliminating the need for gating or breath-holding techniques. The Synchrony System can be used with the Xsight Lung Tracking System, with 1-View Tracking or the Fiducial Tracking System. The Synchrony System is capable of tracking a wide variety of target motions, InTempo including targets that move with respiration. Changes in breathing pattern Adaptive Imaging System* are automatically detected by the Synchrony System and compensated for in The InTempo Adaptive Imaging System uses the treatment delivery. CyberKnife System s time-based image guidance to assist with tracking and correcting non-predictable intrafraction target motion. As targets move with time, the InTempo System compares the offset corrections applied between every two consecutive live X-ray acquisitions. If the corrections significantly change, the time between image acquisitions (the image age) is automatically shortened to ensure updated offset corrections are applied to the next beam. The InTempo System can be used with the 6D Skull Tracking System, Xsight Spine Tracking System, and Fiducial Tracking System. Quality Assurance for Treatment Delivery Confidence The accuracy of the treatment delivery system including both dosimetric and targeting accuracy is assured for each treatment component and for the entire CyberKnife System. Accuray physicists work collaboratively with Quality Assurance (QA) product vendors to ensure CyberKnife QA tools are validated and CyberKnife QA procedures are documented.
